He began his writing career at age twenty-two as a crime reporter for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City. Later, he took up the editorship of Utah Holiday magazine, where he became known for producing important investigative journalism about Utah politics. Many successful writers, including Nevada Writers Hall of Fame inductee Phyllis Barber and Pulitzer Prize nominee Linda Sillitoe, got their start under Paul’s editorship. He also edited The Event magazine and wrote for the Salt Lake Observer. Many of his other articles were published in the Salt Lake Tribune, Sunstone, Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, and other publications. During his later years, Paul followed in the footsteps of his poet sister, May Swenson, producing many poems. Paul wrote many news stories about the real-life events that inspired this book and became so intrigued that he spent four years researching and interviewing the people involved in order to produce this novel. He died shortly after completing it in 2012.view less
